Captain"s move

Delhi: Vendetta politics in Punjab took a new turn as former chief minister Amarinder Singh rushed to Delhi and held a press conference against his political rivals, Akali Chief Minister of Punjab Parkash Singh Badal and his son Sukhbir Singh Badal.

“A different type of terrorism is spreading in the state. After Sukhbir was given the home portfolio, he is using his power blatantly to spread terror,” alleged Amarinder.

He was flanked by Union Minister Ambika Soni and Congress spokesman Maneesh Tewari.

The delegation wants Punjab to be declared a “sensitive” state and central forces to be deputed in Punjab during elections. “We want free and fair elections. Without the Centre’s help it will be a free for all,” Amarinder said. Added Soni, “It is SHO raj in the state.” Amarinder is facing corruption charges, which he claims are another form of the Badals’ vendetta.
